Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh and clean profile, combined with moderate longevity and sillage, makes it ideal for office wear and casual outings where subtlety is key. While some reviews mention it for dates, its lack of bold projection makes it less suitable for formal events but perfect for a post-gym refresh.

About

Slate opens with an invigorating burst of fresh, clean notes, evoking images of a dewy morning. The heart quickly reveals a distinctive clary sage, lending a green, slightly herbal, and subtly floral sophistication. This is beautifully grounded by a whisper of spicy ginger in the base, adding warmth and a modern twist that keeps it intriguing, without ever becoming heavy. It’s a bright, airy composition that feels utterly contemporary.
